If Shakespeare Were Here Alec Benjamin

[Verse 1]
Romeo swallowed the poison, and Juliet found him without any air
So tragic, the story, dramatic and gory, with beauty amidst such despair

[Pre-Chorus]
But there's nothing graceful about you and me
There's no dignified ending, just hate and deceit
And suffering too
From losing you

[Chorus]
If there's art in every heartbreak, where's the beauty in my pain?
Where's the movie with the ending where I find true love again?
If there's art in every heartbreak, if there's beauty in my pain
Then why can't I find it, the meaning behind it?
If Shakespeare were here, I wonder what he'd say

[Verse 2]
Maybe he'd force me to swallow the poison and say he can't save me, it's too late for choices
No love to rejoice in
And, under my breath, I'd say

[Pre-Chorus]
"There's nothing graceful about you and me
There's no dignified ending, just hate and deceit
And suffering too
From losing you"
